Are we alone?

Loneliness is a feeling that no one would want to experience, and with a world with over seven billion people I can say, no, we are not alone. Thinking outside our planet, we do not know of any aliens, but I would not be surprised if there is an another place that has it's own life form. The universe is bigger than we can possibly imagine and there is every possibility of another planet contiaining life. Our planet it self there are over seven billion people and especially in a place like India it is impossible to be alone or even feel alone. I as a person feel very thankful for all the things that life has given me. I have a family and a home where I can go anytime and not be alone. I am looking around me right now and I can see five people, and most of the people in the world are always with one person or another, then how can we say that we are alone?

Insane woman loses fortune of 16 bn euros

L'Oreal heiress Bettencourt under family guardianship

Summary:

Liliane Bettencourt, 88, lost control of her fortune of 16 billion euros. A French court gave control of the money to her daughter Meyer Bettencourt. The court gave the ruling after it declared Mrs. Bettencourt to be mentally unfit to keep control of her money. Along with Meyer Bettencourt, her sons will also be controlling the money and taking care of their grandmother. Mrs. Liliane Bettencourt said that she cannot live in the care of her daughter and that she will flee if she has to stay with her daughter.

This lawsuit was filed by her daughter who claims that her mother had been giving away money. She claims that her mother gave a photographer gifts worth 1 bn euros and also gave money illegally to president Nicolas Sarkozy's election campaign. If this claim is true it will change the way France is run and the country would me in turmoil. Bettencourt had been estranged from her daughter 4 years ago, but they said that the relationship had been repaired earlier this year.

Response:

I found this article very interesting because it can in various ways, relate to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Liliane Bettencourt was declared 'mentally unfit', which was also the case for all of the people in the hospital in the book. McMurphy, like Bettencourt, had no choice but to stay under care, both of them do not want it, and believe that they are not insane. Another thing I find really fascinating is how a court is allowed to do that. If a woman wants to spend her money she should be allowed to do so in any way she wants. There is nothing illegal in giving gifts to another person. How can a court decide if a woman is insane or not? There are no physical signs and they cannot tell what she is thinking.

Vocabulary:

Heiress -a female heir, esp. to vast wealth; root- heir

Estranged- no longer close or affectionate to someone; root (latin) - extraneare

Flee- run away from a place or situation ; root (dutch)- vlieden
